Yes, I like the ruffled dress...I thought wow, Mary has hit on a new trend and she'll only have to wear it (ruffles) once and the trickle down effect will occur...but no, on the balcony for Frederik's 40th birthday, she is again wearing ruffles...a dark grey, satin dress/skirt (with pink jacket) and I thought 2 times in 2 days...she has overdone the ruffles already ...If only she waited a month or so before introducing the grey dress/skirt...but she is going for maximum impact I think...

Both Maxima and Letizia have sported the tiered/ruffle gown or skirt from time to time for the last 4 years. Mary's gown flowed beautifully when she walked but I wished she had picked a color to flatter her skin tone...maybe purple?

Mary looked lovely on J and M's wedding. I think she went out of her way not to upstage the bride, maybe that's why she choose this rather bland colour. Otherwise all the attention might have been on her, instead of on Marie (who looked fantastic imo).
